Monster Hunter World Bone locations and how to get Monster Slogbone, Solidbone and Toughbone
A list specific Monster Bone locations throughout Monster Hunter World.
Monster Hunter World Bones are one of many components you'll need to construct weapons and armour pieces for your Hunter and Palico.
However, there are a variety of Bone types in Monster Hunter World- such as Monster Slogbone, Monster Bone M, Monster Bone Plus, Warped Bone and Coral Bone - and it's not immediately clear from which areas or activities they are from.
Elsewhere, our Monster Hunter World tips can help you decide when to farm, what to forage and what to do between hunts, and our Monster Hunter World walkthrough and guide can help with main quest and story progress.

What are Monster Hunter World bones used for?
Bones are one of many classifications of components you'll collect as you play Monster Hunter World, and are used as a component for constructing weapons and armour pieces.
You can get them from the following:
- Bone Piles
- Rewards from hunts
- Tailraider Safari
Bones are primarily sources from Bone Piles, which are a glowing piles of bones out in each of the game's hunting areas. Simply walk up to it, press the button prompt, and forage away. You get three bones per pile.
If you are specifically after bone piles, then remember you can use your map to locate the desired one, and click in the right stick to have your Scoutflies take you to them.
Unlike Ores, there is no difference between Bone Piles within an area, though each area can give you different types of bones.
That said, Bone Piles will only get you so far, as the most lucrative Bones for late-game and High Rank upgrades come from completing hunts.
